  1. 1. Cat allergen exposure at school : evaluation of sampling methods and allergen avoidance strategies

    Författare :Anne-Sophie Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :School; child; cat allergen; Fel d 1; exposure; sampling; allergen avoidance; cat owner;

    Sammanfattning : Cat allergy is the most common allergy among school children in Sweden. Cat allergen is ubiquitous in school premises and other public places and this indirect exposure to cat may induce symptoms among cat sensitized children with asthma. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Study of biomarkers for improved diagnosis and therapy monitoring in young asthmatics

    Författare :Nikolaos Tsolakis; Kjell Alving; Lennart Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma phenotypes; IgE sensitization; atopy; cat allergen components; exhaled NO; airway hyper-responsiveness; lung function; asthma-related quality of life.;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Type-2 asthma is often related to atopy and is characterized by elevated type-2 biomarkers. However, less is known about the pathophysiology of non-type 2 asthma, factors associated therewith, and the stability of different asthma phenotypes over time. LÄS MER

  4. 3. IgE sensitization against food allergens : Natural history, relation to airway inflammation and asthma

    Författare :Antonios Patelis; Andrei Malinovschi; Eva Rönmark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergen components; extract-based; exhaled NO; airway hyperresponsiveness; blood eosinophil count; IgE sensitization; food hypersensitivity; food allergens; perennial allergens; natural history; markers of systemic inflammation; markers of local inflammation; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine; Fysiologi; Physiology; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Background: According to recent studies in children, IgE sensitization not only against perennial allergens, but also against food allergens, is related to asthma risk and increased airway inflammation. During the last decade, a new technique for IgE determination based on allergen components has become available, but its use in epidemiological studies has been limited. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergy : new approaches using recombinant allergens

    Författare :Hans Grönlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Allergens; allergy; cat; diagnostics; immunotherapy; recombinant allergens;

    Sammanfattning : More than 10% of the population in industrialized countries suffer from lgE-mediated cat allergy. Allergens produced by recombinant techniques offer new possibilites to diagnose and treat allergic patients but will also help to uncover the mechanisms behind the sensitisation. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Exhaled nitric oxide in schoolchildren with asthma

    Författare :Christophe Pedroletti; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Asthma; rhinitis; children; nitric oxide; allergen provocation; steroids.;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The fraction of nitric oxide in exhaled air (FENO) is believed to reflect the degree of allergic inflammation present in the lower airways. The diffusing capacity of NO in the airways (DawNO) and the concentration of this gas in the airway wall (FawNO) can be evaluated by determining FENO with different exhalation flow-rates. LÄS MER
